After emptying urine from the bedpan of a client whose urinary output is being monitored, what should you do next?
  1. Wash hands thoroughly.
  2. Apply a clean pair of gloves.
  3. Report the amount of urine to the nurse.
  4. Document the amount and characteristic of urine in the chart.
Explanation
Answer: A - After any procedure is completed, the medical assistant must wash her hands to prevent transmission of microorganism. The application of gloves is only necessary if the medical assistant must attend to another item of personal care before documenting urinary output; even so, hands should be washed first. Crucial information is reported to the nurse, not routine intake and output.
